Dr. Michael Lenarz, D.C.

Dr. Michael Lenarz has practised Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic for more than 37 years — longer than most Blair doctors have been alive.

He is a certified Blair Advanced Instructor, which means he trains other Blair doctors. Very few practitioners anywhere in the world can make that claim. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Blair Upper Cervical Society, chaired the Board at Sherman College, been named Chiropractor of the Year twice — by the Blair Society and by Sherman College — and received the B.J. Palmer Award.

He is also the author of The Chiropractic Way, published by Bantam Books in 2003 and the first chiropractic book ever published by a major publishing house.

What sits underneath all of it is a single conviction, and he states it the same way every time: the body will always adapt and heal, when given the chance. His work is removing what is preventing that chance — and in his hands that means the atlas and axis, the two bones at the brainstem where interference does the most damage.

Dr. Lenarz practises at the Sedro-Woolley clinic in the Skagit Valley.
